When it comes to ensuring the safety and functionality of the electrical systems at your Poulton-le-Fylde property, a full rewire is often the solution. But what exactly does a full rewire include, and how can you ensure it's done efficiently and cleanly?
At West Coast Electrical, we understand that a full rewire can seem like a daunting task. However, our dedicated team of professional electricians take pride in making this essential electrical work as seamless as possible while minimising disruption and mess.
Rewire Process
1. Chopping Back Boxes In: The rewiring process at your Poulton-le-Fylde property begins with carefully removing and, if necessary, replacing electrical back boxes. This step is crucial to accommodate modern wiring standards and ensure your safety.
2. Chasing Out for Cable Runs: To replace old and potentially unsafe wiring, we meticulously chase out routes within the walls to run new cables. This is done with precision to maintain the integrity of your home's structure.
3. Lifting Floorboards: In some cases, accessing electrical circuits may require lifting floorboards. Our team handles this with care, ensuring that your flooring is restored to its original condition once the work is completed.
4. Clipping Cables Under Floors and in Attics: Cables need to be securely fastened to prevent any hazards or future issues. We take extra care in neatly securing cables, whether they are under your floors or in your attic.
5. Testing Cables After Installation: Safety is our utmost priority. Before we consider the job complete, we rigorously test all installed cables to ensure they are functioning correctly and pose no risk.
6. Second Fixing Lights, Sockets, and Switches: Once the wiring is in place, we proceed to the second-fix stage, where we install new light fixtures, sockets, and switches to modernise your electrical system.
7. Installing the Consumer Unit: The consumer unit, or fuse box, is a critical component of your electrical system. We replace or upgrade this unit to meet current safety standards and accommodate the new wiring.
